[A preliminary study on correcting the high fold of the upper eyelid]

Since 1989 eighteen patients (23 eyes) with high folds of the upper eyelid have been treated by sutruing the orbital septum, pretarsal portion and the incisions together. It created a barrier between the high upper palpebral fold and the levator palpebrae superioris tendon. After the operation, the high fold disappeared and double-fold eyelid was better formed. The mechanism of the technique is discussed.
